Interpretation of Mr.. Lick's will, which the
courts ont there accepted. Like many such
wills drawn up by eccentric philanthropists,
its Interpretation was dubious matter Not
only was the will liable to be misconstrIed,
but there were heirs who came forward with
claims. In order to save something TO the
people, proposed that the trustees of the es-
tate dismiss these heirs by compromise The
principal heir got about S350,000, if | cor

money, probably, to carry out all of Mr.
Lick's provisions, but good deal will be

Two barns saifto be filed with unthrashed
wheat were recently burned in Germany
They were insured, but it was impossible to
collect, because the claim was made that the
contents OF the barns were simply straw
When the affair got into the courts. chemical
experts were called to analyze the ashes.
Wheat contains large quantity of phos-
phoric acid, almost ten times as much as does
straw. Naturally, in the burning of these
barns, wood ashes, cement. and other mineral
substances were mixed with the ashes sub
mitted to the chemists, but none OF these ad-
mixtures contain phosphoric acid The ex-
perts found that Of two samples placed in
their hands one contained 10.2 per cent. and
the other 19per cent. of the acid, thus proving
conclusively that the farmers were in the
right, and the insurance companies in the
wrong.-Fireman's Herald

reaching an elevation of 16, 500 feet, and for
five days We journeyed at an average eleva-
ton of 14.5o0 feet The air was so rarefied
that we suffered much from sorocho, the
chief symptoms of which were difficulty in
breathing prostrating muscular weakness and
bleeding at the nose and ears. We passed the
beautiful volcano of Tacosa, which discharges
across the road a river the water of which is

from lightning, which is frequent and violent

There is a big room or two up at Columbia

strange nature, Indian relics and all manner
of South American wonders are here, the
prizes captured in two years struggle with
danger and suffering by an American seien-
tific investigator. The owner of these treas
ures is DIR. Henry II. Roby of Detroit, who
left New York for tour through Chill and
Bolivia in the hope Of discovering amid the
fauna and fora OF the Andes and the Amazon
some valuable additions to the medicinal
riches of the American pharmacopnia
DIR. Rosby's adventures were many and in
teresting. He met the sorocho in its native
lair, did battle with the Caripuna Ind ians
and the man eating fish and alligators of the
Beni river, broiled in the stenches Of La Paz,
the filthiest city this side of Constantinople,
took his daily dose of quinine like little
man, and saw the place where 100000 Gin
chona trees arc growing, the source from
which all the calisaya cocktails of the future
must come. From all this he came out much
the worse for wear, but still full of enthusi-
asm and confident that out of the 800 native
drugs he had examined two or three would
prove superior to the similar remedies now
known to the medical profession.

The White SInYe.

Gustavus Levick presented Bart

"The White Slave" last evening at
the Theater before a fair audience.
Although "The White Slave" has
been presented here before, the ver-
sion given last night was a superior
one to any of the others. Mr.. Le-
wick in the role of Clay Brltton the
hero, fully sustained his reputation
as an actor of great merit, being con-
scientious and earnest in his endeav-
ors, considering the limited scenery
in the Theater. Miss Alsberg in
the role of Lisa, did ample justice
to the character, proving that by
study and application to her bust
ness, this young lady will vet take
rank in her profession. The sup
port made by the company was very
efficient, especially by Messrs.
Armstrong, Richardson and Page
and Misses Nannary, Burlington
and Enrol. The company leave to-
day for Virginia City.
